CDAE 195 WC1 (CRN: 14085)

This event planning course focuses on providing students the basic knowledge and skills of event planning. Sponsorship, fundraising, marketing, promotions, licensing/branding, ticket operations, and staff & risk management that support event production are areas this course will cover. Through guest speakers, readings, class discussions, and participation in a real event, students will gain a thorough understanding of the event planning process. Participants will have the opportunity to work at a home athletic event with current staff, while interacting with sponsors and donors. Students will work in teams to assist at an event, communicate with partners/sponsors, understand the logistics, problem solve foreseen concerns/situations, and evaluate the overall event. Students taking the class must be present for the event on the date agreed upon. This is a chance for participants to work as a team and build their resumes with real-life application.
